As these glosses were on offer I decided to get six out of the 8 shades available, I picked a good mix of bluey and reddy pinks and am pretty pleased with all the colours and how they translate to the lips.
These glosses are a lot more pigmented than most, especially for a cheaper gloss but the shine does last longer than the colour which starts to disappear after around 2-3 hours. They aren't sticky which is brilliant because that's one of the things I hate about glosses but because they're quite thick theres still the risk of getting your hair stuck to your lips which is a bit of a pain!
Each colour contains MUA's 'Maxi Lip' plumping agents (from the ingredients I'm guessing maybe Vanillyl Butyl Ether and cinnamon) and I was pretty sceptical about whether it would do anything to the size of my lips as I have ELF's plumping gloss which doesn't do much and it's only the bee venom glosses which do make me swell up. I was really pleasantly surprised though as after having the gloss on for a few minutes my lips start to tingle, feel hot and definitely plump up around the edges. The feeling is like the heat you get on your lips from eating something spicy. Another good thing about these glosses is that while they plump they don't dry out my lips like a lot of lip products seem to do, although as you can see from the photos below the lighter colours do accentuate the fine lines a little.
Really the only bad thing I have to say about these glosses is the smell, its not horrible but makes me think of a mixture of plastic and cocoa powder which isn't that appetising, and a bit of mint or really any smell wouldn't have gone amiss.

As you can probably tell I'm loving these glosses at the moment, if you're more of a pinky than reddy person like me I think you'll definitely appreciate the choice of shades. I went a little out of my comfort zone when picking Sienna as it looks very orange in the tube but on the lips is a bit more toned down and I'm sure I'll be getting a lot of wear out of it. The MUA Out There Plumping Lipgloss is available for £2 from MUA online or Superdrug.
Do you have any of these glosses? Which colour is your favourite?
Very pretty colors!
